Top attractions in Florence .
Basilica of Santa Maria Novella – starting point of Florence Scavenger Hunt
The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella is located in front of the railway station. However, this is a beautiful building with a structural design similar to the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Duomo. Still, this Basilica has been interpreted pretty differently.
Its graceful curving designs, highlighting arches’ rows, and imitating windows are making it pretty impressive. Even more, here you can even experience the artistry of the 14th century as well. So, overall, this place worth your visit.
Basilica di San Marco
This is another leading tourist attraction in Florence. Its Byzantine architecture with plundered sculptures and gold mosaics is making it the most thrilled Christian Crusade. Additionally, entry to this Basilica is free.
Basilica di San Lorenzo
Located in close proximity to Duomo, this Basilica was designed under the powerful Medici family’s design that ruled the city for years during Renaissance.
Even though the church isn’t grand, but it’s impressive still with its characteristic and beautiful terracotta tiled roof and a huge dome. Even more, the tombs of the Medici family inside are pretty exquisite.
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Santa Maria del Fiore is one of the largest churches in the world. Dominating the Tuscan skyline with its massive terracotta dome and intricate marble facade, this architectural titan stands as the heart of the Italian Renaissance. As you gaze upon the breathtaking engineering of Brunelleschi’s masterpiece and the vibrant patterns of green, white, and pink stone, you will uncover the artistic soul of Florence and the enduring legacy of its golden age.
Piazza della Signoria
Piazza Della Signoria is another important Florence attraction. Most importantly, it contains classical art and a myriad of buildings. The magnificent main structure contains Pallazo Vecchio with fantastic statues and a huge clock tower.
Even more, the square is easier to access because it’s located in a central location.
Santa Croce
Whilst the Florence cathedral is boasting immense size, Santa Croce is entirely beautiful and inviting. The construction of Santa Croce happened at the same time as Duomo. However, the front façade of this Basilica contains green, red, and pink marble polychrome panels combined with white stones.
Besides the beautiful exterior, the interior of this building also contains the tombs of the most influential Renaissance scholars and artists.
Uffizi Gallery
This is a popular art museum and is one of the most important museums Italian museums worldwide. The building of Uffizi Gallery is itself marvelous. At the same time, the interior is featuring an amazing series of intricate arches and columns adorned with spectacular marble statues.
Here you can also find an immense Renaissance Art collection from Botticelli, Raphael, Da Vinci, and more.
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous and older bridges in Italy. It is also popular because of the array of shops built into the bridge’s sides and decorated history.
You can have an enjoyable walk through its fantastic structure and shops with ease.
Trinity Bridge
So, the Trinity Bridge is the oldest elliptic arch bridge in the world. The name of the bridge is upon the nearest ancient church. However, at present, this bridge is a faithful 16th-century monument’s reconstruction that’s worth your visit.
Piazza Della Repubblica – ending point of Florence Scavenger Hunt
This is another famous town square of the city amongst tourists. The famous café here has been opened in 1896. However, the square has been visiting for the dainty cafes. These cafes were the best places for literary people to meet and have a great time. So, whenever you visit Florence, make sure to visit these cafes here for a wonderful experience.

Manière ludique de découvrir la ville. Les énigmes sont intéressantes et abordables pour des enfants de 8 ans. Mais même les grands se sont prêtés au jeu. Des anecdotes et des éléments historiques ponctuent la visite. Nous recommandons donc cette activité.

Notre fille de 10 ans a adoré ce jeu de piste, qu’on a complété sur 2 jours. Totalement neuf à ce concept, on a du utiliser tous les indices au 2 premiers arrêts, puis on a maitrisé la suite. Les énigmes étaient adaptés a son âge. Nous, les adultes, avons appris un peu sur la ville et ses monuments, et notre fille, toute excitée, nous a guidée à travers le centre. C’était un bon moment partagé.
